Friday Link Love 5/7

Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised to find another source of ebooks. I found that I could download ebooks from the Barnes & Noble website and then load them onto my Sony Pocket Reader. The ebooks download in the pdb format. So I transfered them to Calibre and converted them to ePub. I plugged my reader in and the ebooks easily transferred.

I figured this was possible with the B&N ebookstore, I just never got around to giving it a try until yesterday. B&N appears to have a large number of free ebooks, a lot of them coming from Smashwords (aff link) – another ebook provider B&N partnered up with not too long ago.

Needless to say, I think I’ll have plenty of ebooks on my Sony for a long time to come. Have a happy and safe weekend!
